A university football stadium has 81,500 seats. The stadium is at full capacity on game day. Layla believes only 79,000 seats are occupied. Find the percent error of Layla’s prediction. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth of a percent.(1 point)
The actual number of occupied seats is 81,500 and Layla's prediction is 79,000.
To find the percent error, we can use the formula:
Percent Error = (|Actual Value - Predicted Value| / Actual Value) * 100
Plugging in the values, we get:
Percent Error = (|81500 - 79000| / 81500) * 100
Percent Error = (2500 / 81500) * 100
Percent Error = 3.07%
The percent error of Layla's prediction is 3.07%.
